The Hunted (DM: IronSky, Judge: ???)

[LadyLaw]

"Well now, tha's int'restin'," Rysethynn says, clearly intrigued.

She lifts up a piece of his coat edge and shows the inside to the others nearby.

"See tha'?" she asks. "There was another linin' here. Somethin' tore it 'part. Must've been important."

 

[DMDanW]

"Well then his heart must have been important as well, since the creature ripped that out too" Xander states dryly as he looks over to Rysthynn.

 

[LadyLaw]

"No doub' t'was!" she says somewhat indignantly. "People don' make secret pockets in their clothin' fer nothin'. He had somethin' there, an' now it t'aint."

"No doub' t'was!" she says somewhat indignantly. "People don' make secret pockets in their clothin' fer nothin'. He had somethin' there, an' now it t'aint."

"Then this may be more focused than a simple blood-rage," Devinihm says. "That is good. I think. There is no way to tell what might have been in the lining, I suppose. Perhaps the other scenes will point to a common object."

 

[Voda Vosa]

Earth points at the silver hairs he found. "Apparently the creature has a fur, silver and grey like this. They where under the man's fingernails. It doesn't seem of human origins, nor of any natural creature I could think of."

 

[DMDanW]

"Perhaps we should find out more regarding this man, Dartanian Grey I believe he stated when he entered the Hanged Man. By the look of his clothing he was most likely from a wealthy family. If we can learn more about this victim then it will be easier to find links regarding the other victims". Xander takes a quick look though what remain of the mans possessions (his pockets & the like) to see if he can find anything which may further identify him.

 

[Voda Vosa]

"A sharp suggestion" agrees Earth and he also examines the gear of the deceased.

 

[Neurotic]

"Now, that is something I can help with. People I understand. Bodies and beasts, not so much. Let's ask the guards about his family estate." the sorcerer states, vainly trying to remember anything about such family.

"Maybe he wasn't really known, or part of rich or noble family, but an adventurer who got some money. And the killed may be all part of the same group that uncovered something they shouldn't have?"

The Hunted: Day 1, Hour 1, Minute 48

The group stays gathered around the body, talking and examining it. Xander searches the man's pockets while Earth examines his possessions.

Soon, a few coins, a fine rapier, several rings, a boot knife, and a handkerchief covered in blood are laid out in on the cobblestones beside the body...

[sblock=Xander]You do find a small tattoo on the back of his hand, but none of his other clothing or equipment seems to identify him. The tattoo seems to be of a square-sailed ship cresting a wave.[/sblock]

[sblock=Earth]Looking over his things, what strikes you most is, despite the blood and damage from combat and the fall, his things have a look of newness to them. His clothing seems to be freshly tailored and he has only the faintest of tan-lines where his rings were, indicating he hadn't been wearing them long.[/sblock]

[sblock=Illarion]You have vague memories about some house named Grey somewhere in Daunton. Details escape you at the moment however.[/sblock]

Earth points at the silver hairs he found. "Apparently the creature has a fur, silver and grey like this. They where under the man's fingernails. It doesn't seem of human origins, nor of any natural creature I could think of."

Devinihm frowns. "If not natural, then, perhaps ... Auntiemab, do these look like any magical beast you know of? Or does anyone else have knowledge of exotic monsters?"
